First Impression = 5/5
Nice to look at, very clean, not jumbled full of links. Looked great.
Where's the link? = 5/5
Under extras, and then under reviews.
Layout = 30/30
One of the better designs from Lissy. It's a less used design, which is why I like it. Sometimes her stuff is everywhere!
Beige/brown tones for the color, picture of a little girl with a Band-Aid on her arm. She has an expression that to me looks very confused and hurt at the same time. The words "I long for the days of being a little girl, when I didn't know that love hurts and skinned elbows were the only thing that caused tears." A little bit too long of a sentence if you ask me, but that's the designer, not you.
Archive page matches nicely. I would recommend changing the colors on the guestbook to match the current layout.
Content = 20/20
One other recommendation. I've suggested this before, and this is just my opinion. Instead of using initials for people, use names. Real names, middle names, fake names, it's just easier to understand. Instead of DH did this and J did that, it sounds better if it went David did this and Jacob did that. Easier to remember too while going through the diary.
Now on to the review. I have been in similar situations such as this, although you seem to handle it better than I do! This made me smile, you and my sister have the same birthday! I was surprised at how many things on this list I could relate to, or could have written myself. This entry made me feel sad. I don't understand why people change, I don't think I'll ever understand it. Sounds like you two have had a bumpy road.
This entry I will publicly thank you for, since you mentioned one of my diaries. Of course I cried when I read it, but that's just me being me. It really is a beautiful entry. I also liked your comments about iwillsurvive in this entry. She's the greatest, isn't she? Remember this promise, I think it's a good one to keep. It's never easy, but I think it would be better for everyone involved. If you ask me, the wrong person is in therapy in this relationship.
Okay, no more linking. I just had a lot to link to, your diary is link-worthy! You write a diary. And I mean that in the best way possible. You actually take this as a diary. A place to write thoughts, emotions, feelings, etc. This is one of those great diaries that you can actually imagine being handwritten. You don't write for the public, for the readers, you write for you. Once in a while, sure, you'll throw in a quiz or something, but for the most part this diary is 100% perfect.
On my last recommendation about the initials/names, I see now you've taken it halfway. You used names on your cast page, but your entries after the cast page still use initials.
As with other reviewers before me, I just sat here reading your entire diary, and it was worth every second. I loved it.
Errors = 5/5
I didn't see any obvious errors.
Contact = 4/4
Email, notes, guestbook, MSN on profile.
Organization = 10/10
I have to disagree with some of your reviews on this. I think the links on the bottom look fine, even with the space gap. I don't think it would look better if that space was removed, links should be separate from the entry. That brings it a much neater look.
Archives are good, links are good, everything looks fine. I say leave it as is.
Updates = 8/10
Some pretty heavy skips since February. But May is off to a good start with the multiples!
Bonus = 5/5
Fastonline, 100 things, bio, cast, fans, buddies, reviews, poetry, rings, surveys, links, tagboard...I think you are covered in the bonus catagory.
Will I be coming back? = 6/6
Adding you to my favorites, and hopefully your locked diary as well.
Additional Comments:
I would really appreciate an email with the password to your locked diary. I admit, I'm hooked, and need to read more from you.
Number of entries read = All
Total: 98/100, welcome to the Hall of Fame.
